Humans invest in human relationshipsWhich have short shelf livesAre fragile, unpredictableHumans invest in human goalsAnd anchor their hopes foreverAnd think their rosy relationships Will never outgrowThen they spend their livesBlaming, complaining of betrayalsThe laws of karma are absoluteFace them without disputeIt is more difficult to predict your futureThan create itHandle the present with care, bewareFor what you create todayWill pave the way for tomorrowBe it gain or sorrowWalk the tightropeBalance your mind body soulInvest on the gift within youYour talent or aptitude Or just your helping attitudeFeel good, take a swig of elixir The aphrodisiac is you, dearDependency on another is addictionRepetitive compulsive actionDon’t feel sad when aloneYou are the microcosm of the whole.
